Resident and Intern Certificate Presentation and Awards Ceremony

On Friday June 29, the Department of Veterinary
Clinical Sciences and the Veterinary Medical Center held the 2012 Resident and
Intern Certificate Presentation and Reception at the Ohio Union. This annual
event, attended by over 170 people, is a celebration of the success and
achievement of our residents and interns, and marks the culmination of one
phase of their careers.

Dr. Mike Rings, retiring this week, gave opening
remarks and Dr. Adam Parson, president of the College Alumni Society, provided a
welcome and distributed College Alumni Society lapel pins to honorees. Faculty,
staff, family, and friends were recognized for their contributions and support
of the residents and interns. In addition, we were also fortunate to have
several emeritus faculty members join us for the evening, including Drs. Dennis
Chew, Bill Fenner, Bruce Hull, Joe Kowalski, and Bob Sherding. We very much
appreciate their continued engagement, contributions, and support to our
program.

Certificates of participation or completion were
presented to residents and interns, and several awards were given to residents,
interns, and faculty. Each person completing their program received a framed
certificate and an Alumni Society lapel pin. Presenters gave brief remarks
about each resident and intern, provided gifts from the section/service, and
showed a few slides or videos to highlight their time here during their
program. Resident and intern award winners received a plaque and a monetary
gift. Please join us in thanking the following individuals for their
contributions and congratulating them for their accomplishments and awards.

As part of their combined residency-graduate
program, residents are required to complete a master’s thesis. Below is a list
of the residents who completed their specialty training programs along with the
titles of their theses, theses advisors, and theses committee members.

Thesis title: An Ex Vivo Model to Evaluate the

We would like to extend a very special thanks to
Ronda Baldwin to all of her time and effort in organizing this wonderful event,
Tim Vojt for his assistance with design and preparation of the invitation and program,
and Jerry Harvey for capturing the evening with his photography.
